Since the years following the English historical decade of the Eighties, marked by the socio-economic policies carried out by Mrs Thatcher’s government, Jackie Kay has always considered poetry as a powerful means that has allowed her to give voice to those who have never had the right to speak or been enabled to. Especially to the outcasts, to people, socially and culturally confined and marginalized within the domain of otherness because of their race, cultural and political identity, social class, gender and sexual orientation.
Through the anthology Fiere (Compagna), published in 2011, the poet explores with burning passion and artistic skill, issues related to racial, cultural and social identity(-ies), class, personal and family relationships: all this deeply rooted in her autobiographical dimension, which is always present in her works.
